Fireworks Safety

It’s tradition - parades, cookouts and fireworks to celebrate the summer season, especially our nation's birthday on the Fourth of July. Before you set off the fireworks, plan carefully so no one gets hurt.
Use common sense when handling fireworks.

Always read and follow directions on the label

Only light fireworks on a flat surface away from buildings, dry leaves and flammable materials

Wear eye protection

Light only one item at a time and never re-light a "dud" firework

Dispose of fireworks properly. Soak in water before putting in a trash can

Have a responsible adult in charge

Never give fireworks to children

Fireworks are for outdoor use only
